answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>The political and human rights situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is deeply concerning. The UK has supported the adoption of EU sanctions against individuals responsible for obstructing the democratic process in the DRC and who have committed human rights violations in the Kasai region and elsewhere. Should there continue to be no progress towards full implementation of the 31 December agreement and a continuation of the human rights violations taking place across that country, including in the Kasais, the UK would support further pressure on those responsible. While action by the UN Security Council is one option, we would also consider further EU sanctions, if required.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 19/07/2017 09:41:14 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
